"The precious metal arrives in daily increasing quantities, and the estimated exports have risen from £1,000,000 to , ,000 per anoum. There is no end to the gold; and, as far as l have been able to ascertai from reoiial _commu- nication with diggers of various degrees. the labor is by no means so tremendous as some would make it out. Commercial afl'airs are going on easilv. The harvest is magnificent. Wages are not extravagantly high, and Ida not see any pect of famine for some time to come. Ido not venture to rognosticaie the probable state of the markets. We are com- pletely in the dark. have it. however. from good autlierity. that in the early part of the year the probable hcavy_ahipments of goods on speculation will have the effect of creating a glut; and it would be well if a large degree of caution were exercised in making consignments.

The Commanding Officer of the Detachment of the 38th, represented to His Excellency, that if these Witnesses remained in the Colony, they would in all probability desert, and that White, if ac- uitted, would do the same, and trusted, that the Lieut.

We can no longer withhold the expression of our firm conviction. that however morn w , reckless, and indefensible was the conduct of Mr. Wlielan in I one of the Election for the second district of King's County, he must be acquitted of the crime of Perjury. It is evident, thzit he does not know the legnl distinction be- tween the title to real and petaonal pro rty; that the former is trans- ferable only by deed under seal, whi e a bare delivery is sufficient for the latter. It was not the want of registry, but went ofn deed, legally citiiveyiug the property from Ditwaou to Iielan, that made the qualification oath taken by him a false one. He has obtained his seat under fiilae pretenses, and nothing but liia ignorunce will protect hiui from the consequences of u bill of indiclnieitt for per- jury; it is in fact. the only defence tliiit he can possibly make. 'l_'lit compuriaoii between the right to a broad cloth coat, and the tIt_ to a tract of land, is the emanation of ignorance, as profound, as it is deplorable.

With reference to the case of‘ “ Mitchell rs. Harvie,” tried at the Supreme Court of Judicature, on Tue May the 4th, a report of which appeared in our paper of the llth inst.—it seems, that one of the three ques- tions rnised in the argument was, “ Whether the order of the ieut. Governor justified the Defendant in dis- charging the Prisoner ?" On that issue, the learned udge states, “It appears to me, therefore, that the ieut. Governor had no ower to discharge the Pri- soner, nnd that the order oes not justify the Defendant in having permitted the Prisoner to escape.”

he manner in which this case isthus reported, leaves the public to infer, that the Lit-ut. Governor wilfully or ignorantly assumed n power which he does not possess, by issuing an order to allow it person accused of crime, to be liberated b on trial. We are authorised and have been desire to state, that His Excellency gave the order in question, fully aware of the powers with which he is invested, and did so entirely on his own rea- ponsibility, well knowing, that if be exceeded his powers in this instance, was amcnnble and bound to hold harrnleas Mr. Harrie the Jailor, or any other person, rom any consequences which might attach to him or them, for actin in obedience to the orders of the Lieut.
